A Sky News investigation has discovered shops in London selling unlicensed or prescription-only skin-bleaching products. In Peckham, southeast London, we purchased a tube of Fashion Fair Cream from two shops.
This product is unlicensed in the UK and contains the ingredient Clobetasol Propionate, a prescription-only steroid used to treat conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.
Due to the potential for harmful side-effects, its use should be controlled by a doctor, and it should not be sold over the counter to the general public.
Also in Peckham we purchased Movate, a cream that has not been tested or licensed in the UK, and which also contains prescription-only ingredients.
In Brixton, we found Dermovate on sale at a beauty shop.
Although licensed by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency, it is illegal to sell in the UK without prescription. Read More
